Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team

i have a nrpe agent which is running smoothly.
But from today onwards i am getting this below error.

nrpe[14402]: Starting up daemon
nrpe[14402]: Network server bind failure (98: Address already in use)


i tried ps aux | grep and netstat -at | grep also. so there is no other nrpe agent is running.

please support me.

Thanks Guys


I fixed this issue. I already having one more configuration file in xinetd.

Reason for the error is xinetd was running at the time once i stopped and retried

service nagios-nrpe-server start

it starts and works fine.

Good to hear! I'll go ahead and close this up now, but for future reference our support hours are 9AM to 5PM CDT, so if nobody from Nagios comes around to answer your post check the timezone difference and give us some time.
